Well, this is self explanatory...
What religion do you follow? Please explain how it works, basic principles, and why. If you don't follow one, explain why as well (but you don't have to...).

Well, I dont follow a religion, I didnt grow up with much religion in my house and I think it didnt much effect me. Though I feel bad when people talk about god and all this stuff, when I dont much follow and understand. Religion to me just makes things confusing, I mean if we didnt have religion, things probaly would be easier for the world.

...Please dont kill me when after I tell you what Religion I am...
So I'm Muslim, but please don't look down at me with hate.
Im not an extremist and dont believe a lot of what man has told us through the ages.
1. I dont wear a hajab, why should I? Why cover my hair? Did god not give it to me for a reason? Anyways...
2. I dont believe other religions are wrong, by no means! I do however believe that some religions just havent come to accept that Islam was suppose to be the last religion, but whatever, I tolerate other religions and find them fascinating!
3. Im very open minded so being secluded to only dating and marrying only muslims of your culture, is wrong!...we're all humans and there is no difference, god made us all the same but different...you know?
<3 thank you

Crimson, why would anyone hate you for your religion? I don't think anyone in this guild would stereotype based on faith, and if they were to, this is obviously not the place for them.
I like the fact that you don't follow strict Muslim rules. Open mindedness is always a good thing in my opinion. I think a lot of times we get sucked into our religion and stop thinking for ourselves. At least I've seen that happen with some of my family members.
I've grown up Unitarian. Our church is right next to the Catholics and they call us the Pagans. xp We aren't pagans though, anyone of any religion is welcome to join our church. That's the whole idea. We're told only to believe what we want, to choose our own religion. It's great because the building is filled with people of all different faiths who have joined together to share their beliefs with one another.

Hmm . . . we see to have quite a diverse crowd.
I am Buddhist. I don't really participate much with the church but I do try to follow some of the teachings. I like how it is a pretty open religion where other religions are accepted as equal, at least in my sect. Christ, Muhammad and the like are considered 'Buddhas' which basically means they are enlightened people and therefore are equal. This is why in Japan you can be born Shinto, live your life Confucius, get married in a Catholic type ceremony and die a Buddhist.

Yes, Misty, we do seem to have diversity. X3
I myself have no set religion. I choose not to follow organized religion, for this one reason: If you cannot believe in every single principle of that religion, and agree with it morally and intellectually, I don't believe you are a proper follower of that religion. I don't mean to tell any of you that if you don't follow the rules to the book you aren't true, I'm saying that if I can't agree with the book 100% completely, I don't think I can follow it.
I believe what I take from the world, however I DO believe there was a creator of some type. So I guess some would consider me agnostic. I believe in many different principles from many different beliefs, as I was exposed to many. My parents tried to force me into Christianity, and I distrusted them for it. I especially do not like how in most organized religions if you don't follow them, most likely you are doomed to a horrible fate.
I follow my senses, and my morals are guided by my own mind. That's basically how my beliefs work; I'm a big melting pot.

Thanks Snu, I agree with you.
I like the fact that we're all open minded. I guess it all comes down to ethics and morals really. I mean there isn't much difference in other religions. The Jewish faith, Christianity, catholicism, and so on, we all have some of the same views on certain things. I guess its how you perceive it. We were discussing this in philosophy. (yes I am a philosophy student, surprise surprise haha).
Just think, we're all really one religion off in different groups.

I also am kind of like Kazuma-puu in some respects. But I don't believe 100% is necessary.

...So this means I have a follower...
I now can form the mass propagandistic cult dubbed Puugism to take over the world! >D

i think Kaz's way would also apply to myself...
No set of religon.
But in my life religion has had a bit of a more negative effect then ending me mistrusting... since i already distrust the majority the world...
It has had me verball fight with most people that i feel even silghtly put upon with religion....
